I said they were between 16 58 30 GMT and 19 07 00 GMT . Right . We scrubbed the Apollo Landmark Investigation at 28:40 and again at 29:10 . We were allowed to do the D-9 at about 29:30 in irifting flight o~ly. Doing the D-9 in drifting flight means that you look outside w:ith the sextant and you pick out whatever two s~aTs are there and you measure an angle betw8en them. It was a qU1:1.litative rather than a quantitative type investigation for the experiment. I ' m telling you , with D- 9 it was mostly qualitative throughout the whole missi on. We did a few quantitative things , but the number of quantitative things that w~ ·quld do were very limited . The HF Test took us one and a half orbits . Yes . It took t wo hours and 15 minutes at least . I t hink around 28 : 30 , we had a call up for D-9 .
